    shameless plug

Hey everyone,

As a shameless personal plug for myself, on the side, I've developed a secondary tiny company that revolves around web design/development, graphic design, branding/identity, and creative direction. If you're currently looking for any of the following services at competitive or less pricing, be sure to take a gander at my independent design firms website (the website was of course designed and created by myself to which emphasizes my design aesthetic). Be sure to shoot me over an email through the contact form as well for links to various works.

Be sure to pass the word on to friends if they're looking for something. I offer fast and detailed quotes/responses within 24 hours.

A Cautionary Tale of Surface 2 Air's 3-Fingered Ring

Photo: Napoleon BlackSurface 2 Air's 3-Fingered Ring is a style that most of us are pretty familiar with, or might even own already (I know about 4 others, including myself). But did you ever think that such a chic piece of jewelry could get you into trouble? Most people don't really play out the scenario in their mind of getting frisked down by cops, however it did happen to good friend and designer Edward Fong:

"Almost FUCKIN' arrested at 42nd Street station because I had on Surface 2 Air's 'Brass Knuckles'. Does it really need to take 3 big cops to hold me down? At least let me give you the credits, so if I did get arrested I'll be fashionable behind bars... Christopher Lee Sauvé "I WAS TOUCHED BY TERRY" tee, Martin Margiela chain, Earnest Sewn jeans, Common Project high-tops, & black Yankee cap... oh yes and that hollow Surface 2 Air 'Brass Knuckles'."

We're glad to hear that Edward is doing okay and hope that this type of mishap does not happen to anyone else out there. The ring is flat on top and fabricated in light-weight aluminum! How could that possibly hurt anyone?! IT'S FASHION, PEOPLE!

Fashion plates who dig the exceptionally handsome and minimal clothes of New York-based designer Patrik Ervell can look no further than Ervell's own website. Launched last week, the new Patrik Ervell E-Shop features playback of a model in his Spring/Summer 2010 collection continually adjusting himself. Clicking on an article of clothing will direct you to further info about that piece. Despite the boredom of models usually noted at most fashion week presentation, the playback is quite mesmerizing. It's sartorially hypnotic! However, it also allows us to get a better sense of the size and fit of each item of the collection. Available are select styles of shirting, sweaters, blazers, shorts/trousers, and outerwear.

Shaun Ross For Chrishabana

Photo: Jason RogersCombining gorgeously photogenic albino African-American model, Shaun Ross, with popular accessories brand, Chrishabana, comes "Creamy;" an editorial story about Shaun's rising exposure. This story in particular features some of the latest—and in the near future to be available at store.HOMMEBOY—pieces as part of Chrishabana's Fall/Winter 2010 collection.

Shaun is a big fan of Chrishabana, and when receiving the offer to pose for this editorial shoot, he couldn't resist. The aesthetic behind the shoot was rather dark in mood, however bright and exposed. Shaun's poses and all around vibe reflect upon the aesthetic of the collection: down-tempo with a darkened religious undertone.

One of my favorite pieces? Although I'm not the slightest bit religious, the oversize brass, coated cross is quite amazing, as well as the multi-spike necklace. Low and behold, the Cage Adorn Necklace which is currently purchasable at store.HOMMEBOY as we speak for a mere $230. Why not grab that today while it lasts?

The Couture Is Dying T-Shirt by Nick Alan International can immediately become your staple going out t-shirt. Subtle, comfortable, chic, and with an amazing fit, the Couture Is Dying T-Shirt reiterates the unfortunate fates of our famed and beloved couturiers.

- 100% Pima Cotton
- Piece Dyed Antique White
- "Vintage Feel" Satin Enzyme Wash
- Boy Cut / Unisex

I was actually walking down the street today wearing this shirt and noticed this gorgeous model walking toward my direction, looking at the t-shirt and reading it. She smiled and mentioned it to her boyfriend. Apparently a shirt that turns heads and at a good price as well, at $74. Grab one while you can!
